This beautiful bird is a Malachite Kingfisher, Alcedo cristata, that was perched on a branch in a swampy area of Moremi Game Reserve (Botswana) the morning of August 23, 2012. Its vibrant red bill and legs, turquoise cap that reaches down to its eyes, rufous and white underparts, and bright metallic blue upperparts are shown here in profile. Temperatures were edging upward toward the high 80's with clear blue skies.
